SHAM SHUI PO RECLAMATION

Tuesday, August 28, 1973

An area of 30 acres will be reclaimed to the north of the existing

Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier to provide land for roadworks and community facilities.

The reclamation and seawall will extend about 1,000 feet from the

present seawall along Tung Chau Street.

One major feature to be constructed on the future reclamation is

a waterfront road which will form a part of the West Kowloon Corridor road

project.

A new passenger ferry pier with a substantial concourse area will

be built at a later stage to replace the existing pier.

Sites will also be reserved for government, institutional and

community uses, and for the construction of a cargo handling area,

Reclamation work is expected to start in November and should be

completed by mid-1975.
